favorite Firefox addon?

[phillychease]

my favorite is probably greasemonkey, flashblock, and ad-block.
gotta hate those ads! :)

[Crunchy the Headcrab]

Yeah, it still amazes me that there are people that don't know about adblock and other adblocking plugins. I know some people that refuse to use it because they want the webpages to make money, though I'm not really sure how the advertising model works online. Do they make money even if I don't click their stupid ads? (I never have)

[BenAshton24]

AdBlockPlus and Video Download Helper, also, Stylish so that I can remove ads and the space that they leave behind on grooveshark :)

[NewJack]

AdBlockPlus, NoScript, Google Shortcuts, X-Marks are my favs!

[lisati]

xmarks (http://xmarks.com) to synchronize bookmarks between machines and OSes. I think there's an option that lets you use it with IE as well.....

[crimesaucer]

I only use 8 Add-Ons.

Ghostery (my favorite, I set it to block ALL scripts): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9609
SearchPreview (formerly the GooglePreview): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/189
Adblock Plus
Fission (I can turn my status bar off and see pages load in my address bar)
Gmail Checker
ScrapBook plus
StumbleUpon
Nightly Tester Tools

Yes. I dual-boot Vista & Ubuntu on my laptop, and have Xmarks on both. Part of the way it works is to store your bookmarks on the xmarks server.
The xmarks website is www.xmarks.com

[ElSlunko]

X-Marks. Between OS's and even some browsers! There's an xmarks chrome extension.

[antenna]

Vimperator, for easy keyboard browsing.. especially on my laptop.

[Sealbhach]

Adblock Plus, NoScript, X-Marks, NetVideoHunter. These are what I use, I find them indispensable. I have been tempted to try Chromium (for lower ram and cpu overheads) but I need my add-ons.

`Addon' implies a singlar item, then you post 3;)

[Zoot7]

Flashblock, Adblock, Flashgot, Downthemall, Greasemonkey, All-In-One Sidebar, among many others.

Agreed, there's nothing more annoying than that flash crap dancing around the page basically screaming "OOOHHH BUY ME!!11!!", while reading an article.

[lovinglinux]

My list. I'm currently using more than 40 extensions. (http://lovinglinux.megabyet.net/?p=36)

[crimesaucer]

Am I the only person using the Add-on "Ghostery"?

[BrokenKingpin]

Xmarks as well.

[ZankerH]

Torbutton, FireGPG, AdBlock plus, noScript, treestyle tabs

flashblock? You block flash by not installing it. Only way to be sure, etc... :D

[Psumi]

NoScript (NO there ARE NO alternatives to it on Opera, Chrome, etc. Don't tell me to get flashblock, ad-block, etc. NoScript is a gem, unlike them.)

Greasemonkey (No, the homestarrunner all-in-one cannot work with any other browser, because it requires major greasemonkey APIs to even function. Try it on Midori, it will not work.)

Screengrab! (Used for providing screenshots to Wakoopa.)

Video Download Helper (Only use it on linux, because ffmpeg is easier to get for linux.)

Organize Status Bar (Finally can get rid of that annoying Security-button, alt plugin icon included in ubufox extension, greasemonkey icon, etc.)

[Pott]

Ok two things:

My no script doesn't let me post on Ubuntu forums. It gets rid of what I type and then says the message is too short of course...

I use and love:

Fission
Compact Menu
Search Preview


What I would really, really want:

You know how in Chrome there's no statusbar, but you still see the URL if you hover above a link? I want that in Firefox too but I don't know if there's something like that... I want to get rid of my statusbar but I still want to see where I'm about to click...

[Lightstar]

Mozilla Weave (syncs my bookmarks between my windows, linux, and netbook)

FastDial (Quick bookmark access on main page, thumbnails)

Cooliris (See your image search on a 3D wall, easy scrolling, gotta try it)

[crimesaucer]

I Know what I'm about to suggest is not the same as seeing the link address in a tooltip as you hover a link..... but if you wanted to get rid of the firefox status bar, doesn't Fisson have the option to show the link addresses in the URL address bar?

Go to the Fission Preferences and check the box for:


Active link/mouse-over link in the address bar

Try autoHideStatusbar: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1530

[Pott]

Aye I actually checked out the Fission options and indeed it's there, so I finally got the extra real estate and my URL display, all's good :) thanks guys!

[BinaryFeast]

Mozilla Weave is the first thing I install. It syncs everything and I can't do without it. It is one of the things that Firefox has above all other browsers. Then of course there is Adblock plus... For a while I had forgotten what ads looked like (Until I decided to try Chromium. I got a shock from all that flashing menace.).

[ratcheer]

NoScript, followed closely by Ad Block.

In my Firefox, if I hover over a link it displays the URL at the bottom of the browser page, which is just fine for me. I think if they showed up in tooltips that would be just annoying.

just allow noscript to access ubuntu forums then it runs perfectly :)

[Sealbhach]

Ubuntuforums needs you to allow yahooapis.com too.

[Frantic_Earthling]

WOT + Adblock

[Ted3929]

WOT for checking out those nasty web pages that look innocent

[t0p]

Flashblock, CustomizeGoogle and DownloadHelper. I've got others too (such as FireGPG, Gspace and User Agent Switcher...) but the first three are my faves.



flashblock? You block flash by not installing it. Only way to be sure, etc... :D

When you use Flashblock, flash content on a site does not appear - but you can enable it by clicking on a button. So you can choose which bits of flash content you want to see. So you can still watch flash video (like at Youtube) but still block other flash (like ads).

Flash is a horrible thing. But it's a good thing too.

[Nerd King]

Tree style tabs. Can't live without it on a wide-screen monitor.
